Don Nguyen | My Porsche 911 V8 Build

Would like advice on how to be 20 and buy a Porsche in this good of condition.

Really cool build, definitely following it.

[Don Nguyen]

Advice? Just make full use of the time that you have and take chances. The odds aren't that bad, since there's only two things that can happen, which is you can either succeed or fail.

Not really an update on my Porsche, but I have had a lot of requests for pictures of my widebody E36 M3, so instead of PMing everyone back individually, here are the pictures of it.

This is basically a recap of the past 4 years in 3 pictures, with the red black and white being the oldest and the car in black being the most recent.

I do automotive vinyl wrapping professionally, so changing the color of the car is easy for me. The original colors of red/black/white were painted. However, the matte white and matte black are vinyl wraps. Had the matte white for a month before going matte black. Just felt right. May just get the car painted gloss black later on, or if I feel ballsy enough, I'll redo the red/black/white theme again.

If you really want to follow more oft the progress on my other builds (my widebody M3, motorcycles, etc.), pretty much all of my pictures and updates on those will be posted through instagram, since I don't really feel like they deserve their own threads.

Didn't work on my Porsche this weekend. Waiting one some more parts to come in before real progress can start. Most of the car is already apart. Instead, I spent time playing around with my gopros and video editing some more.

Only pictures I can post right now. The internet server that I am connected through won't let me access my host/server, so these instagram pictures will have to do for now.

I feel like the interior is stripped to a good point now. Whatever is left, I will just end up covering with sound deadening and carpet anyways, so getting every last glue adhesive/residue out is not too necessary imo. Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been doing more work than actual picture taking.

Got most of parts necessary to start mocking up the engine to make the mounts/brackets now.

There's only so much left of the car, sometimes I want to take everything off and go through a complete cleaning of all of the parts so they are like new again. However, the car is going to be a driver, so I am probably going to focus on the actual building of the car versus the cleaning of parts that you are never going to see anyways.

These are the old coilovers off of my car that I am going to be selling. They worked good, but I needed something different with everything else that I was doing to the car.



The suspension that will be replacing them. Moton Motorsports 2 way adjustables. I most likely will just have to add camber plates to for the front struts, and everything will be just dandy.

When are you coming back to California. Remember to go in Geoff's car, it is the one with more guns in it.

I like that you took out your x5 to go beat up some 3 series
car needs some progress although the cleaning is nice. Did you figure out what you needed to remove in the engine bay and also how you were gong to run coolant lines?

Ps that e36 has an evolution 190 feel to it. Only shows how nice the 964 can become.

[Don Nguyen]

What I need to remove from the engine bay?

[TeckniX]

I guess are you keeping all the accessories, Exhaust, etc.
Previous pics made it look like there was still a lot there but maybe not.
